Immortality: Beginning With The Great Zhou Divine Dynasty

Chapter 21 A real slap in the face

"What kind of medicine is sold in this imperial concubine's gourd?"

Lin Xuanzhi was wearing a moon-white silver-threaded floral robe with dark patterns. His figure was slender and well-proportioned, his steps steady, and he stood up gracefully and calmly holding a folding fan.

Arriving at the center of the waterside pavilion, he saluted upwards without being humble or arrogant under the eyes of everyone: "I have seen the noble concubine and the princess of the Forest Pen Academy."

Concubine Tu's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Xuanzhi's graceful appearance, and even her sister, who was betrothed to Zhang Congwen, had a look of regret in her eyes.

Princess Ba Xian couldn't help but take a look at Lin Xuanzhi, secretly thinking that he was indeed the only son of Zhang's daughter.

Concubine Tu looked at Lin Xuanzhi with admiration and chuckled: "The so-called gentleman is unparalleled in the world, right? Mr. Lin is like this."

"I wonder if such a handsome and gentle young master of the Lin family has ever been married?" It was the Eighth Sage Princess who turned around and asked.

Princess Baxian secretly thought, can you still have a younger sister?

He replied with a smile: "Mr. Lin's heart is focused on nothing but the books of saints and sages, but he has never settled on anyone yet."

Concubine Tu smiled when she heard the words and asked Lin Xuanzhi: "I heard that your father was ranked among the top ten beauties of Divine Capital that year. I didn't believe it at first. But after seeing Master Lin's grace today, I realized that the so-called top ten Beauty, I’m afraid the other nine are not all the foils of your majesty.”

The eldest lady Cui Yunxi's eyelids were twitching wildly below. She was afraid that Concubine Tu was going to become a monster, but she could only worry.

"The noble concubine's words are serious, Xuanzhi doesn't dare to take them seriously, and Xianci never cares about some false claims." Lin Xuanzhi felt helpless and couldn't help but deal with it.

Concubine Tu smiled like a spring breeze and said warmly to Lin Xuanzhi: "I happen to have a younger sister. She is now eighteen years old and can go to the hall and the kitchen. Although her appearance is not to be said to be first-class, she will not disgrace Lin Xuanzhi. The grace and bearing of an adult.”

"How about we agree to be the concubine's wife with Mr. Lin?"

While talking, another "sister" seemed to be brought up again, but she was a gentle girl wearing an emerald green gauze skirt. Her appearance and temperament were three points better than the previous sister.

When Zhang Congwen saw Zhang Congwen from a distance, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Why should he be the main wife if his sister gave it to him, and Lin Xuanzhi should be the side wife if she gave it to him?

This is what you have to do since your threshold is low!

Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help but feel a headache, but he could only tactfully evade: "I would like to thank you for your kindness, but I am only focused on national affairs. Without a career, I cannot start a family."

"Besides, marriage matters must be subject to the orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker. Although I have no parents alive, my grandparents are still alive and I am cared for by my aunt. It is difficult for me to make the decision on my own."

"Furthermore, the main room is not opened to the side room before entering. This is really not what everyone in the book of poetry and etiquette does. Wanwang empress takes back her order."

The eldest lady got up at the right time, and did not care to complain that Lin Xuanzhi now knew about her parents' order to be a matchmaker. She bowed and said, "I have seen the noble concubine."

Although Lin Xuanzhi's eldest uncle has not yet ascended to the title of nobility, he still has a real job as a Third Grade official, so the eldest wife certainly has a royal title.

"Wulang is the lifeblood of the old lady and the old man in the family. They still need to decide on the marriage. Please don't blame Wulang."

Concubine Tu thought about Lin Tianhu in Zhongyong's Mansion, and then looked at Lin Xuanzhi, who was as handsome as jade below, and felt so strong...

But quench your thirst!

The imperial concubine who didn't give up changed the subject and said, "It's me, Meng Lang. Although my sister is not bad, she is really too high for Master Lin."

"Let's just talk about the side room. If Mrs. Lin doesn't dislike her, why not take Yuanyuan back to the house to train her and become a member of the house to serve the Fifth Young Master Lin."

Does this mean that you take it back to have a roommate?

In this case, it seems that it is not impossible...

Compared to the side room that has to be listed in the family tree, it is expected that the old lady doesn't care about a girl who is a married woman.

Hearing this, Lin Xuanzhi subconsciously wanted to refuse, and took someone back for no apparent reason.

He just felt that this Concubine Tu was a bit unusual, and he really didn't want to have anything to do with this girl.

"My dearest concubine, sir..." Lin Xuan's words had not yet been spoken.

At this time, I heard someone in the distance couldn't help but flatter me and said, "My dear concubine, Brother Lin obviously doesn't want to trouble you, otherwise why would he keep pushing away."

"He has been in and out with the third son of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion since he was a child. They go in and out together, and they wish they could stay together every day."

"Both of them are in their twenties and have never been married before, so they may have made a private decision for life long ago!"

"And I also heard that Master Lin's mother was famous before she left the cabinet, attracting many people to pursue her. It is said... haha."

"It seems that Mr. Lin is somewhat like his mother!"

"If you don't give up, Xiaosheng is willing to marry Miss Yuanyuan as his concubine."

The guests looked sideways at the person who spoke - Yang Wenwu, the son of Beifeng City's deputy general Yang Ge.

Nearby were the children of the enemy family, and Li Jin, the grandson of the prince of Dongping County, who was sitting like a star holding the moon.

The Yuanyuan girl had a subtle hint of disgust in her eyes, but she didn't make a sound.

Su Jincheng was about to get up, but was stopped by a woman in Tsing Yi who was twenty years old and had an ordinary face but an elegant temperament suddenly appeared behind him.

"Goro can handle it."

Su Jincheng said dullly: "Sister Qingwei."

Concubine Tu's smile did not change, and she did not reprimand Yang Wenwu for speaking out suddenly. She just said lightly: "My lord, you should be careful with your words."

The eldest wife and the three girls from the Lin family couldn't help but glare at Yang Wenwu. Also angry were some people sitting among the Qingliu scholars in the distance, including Lin Xuanzhi's aunt.

Lin Xuanzhi looked calm, saluted the noble concubine above and said, "Excuse me for being rude."

After saying that, he stepped in front of Yang Wenwu and his party. After saying hello to Wang Shisun of Dongping County, he looked at Yang Wenwu indifferently.

Qiu Jingnan and others didn't know why, but they subconsciously sat up straight.

"Did you just say that?"

Yang Wenwu seemed to have forgotten what he said after hearing this: "The imperial concubine has good intentions in granting marriage, but you are so ignorant. I am just helping you explain the reason, so as to avoid the embarrassment between the imperial concubine and your family."

Snapped!

A loud sound echoed through the waterside pavilion, and everyone fell silent instantly.

Yang Wenwu covered his swollen face and spit out a few broken teeth with blood. He couldn't speak clearly and said with a mixture of shock and anger: "Lin Xuanzhi, how dare you hit me!"

Qiu Jingnan and others also stood up with slightly changed expressions, as if they didn't expect Lin Xuanzhi to attack directly in front of the noble man.

Lin Xuanzhi looked indifferent and fired his bow left and right before anyone could react.

The sound of snapping echoed throughout the waterside pavilion.

As his name suggests, Yang Wenwu was incompetent in both civil and military affairs. After spinning around for several times, he fell to the ground in a daze.

"I'll beat you if I want to. Why don't we choose the day?" Lin Xuanzhi's tone was calm.

Qiu Jingnan couldn't help but stepped forward and said with suppressed anger: "Brother Lin..."

"Don't ask for relatives randomly. I'm not as close as you."

Lin Xuanzhi glanced at Qiu Jingnan indifferently, then looked down from a high position, looking at Yang Wenwu who was swollen into a pig's head and unconscious with cold eyes, and his voice was as clear as a cold spring resounding throughout the audience.

"Words insult the martyrs of our country!"

Qiu Jingnan's mouth immediately closed as he wanted to say something else, and he quietly took a half step back.

Prince Shisun of Dongping County was about to stand up but his buttocks were firmly seated again.

"Ulululuulu!" Yang Wenwu was saying something subconsciously.

Lin Xuanzhi was unmoved, and his tone became colder: "Creating rumors and slandering the emperor's disciples, court officials, and talking about the legitimate son of a super-grade marquis and the grandson of the eldest princess."

"Yang Wenwu, you are miserable!"

"You have caused a huge disaster!"

"I wonder what your old father, who is guarding the country's borders in Beifeng City, knows what to do."

Lin Xuanzhi turned around and cupped his hands towards Prince Shisun of Dongping County and said, "I'm sorry."

After saying that, he ignored their reactions and returned to the front. He saluted the noble concubine above and the eight virtuous princesses with a fearful look on his face and said, "I have acted recklessly and lost my manners in front of the phoenix frame. Please forgive me, the noble concubine and the princess!"

"It's true that Yang Wenwu's words and deeds are incompatible. If he just quarreled with a minor minister, it would be enough. In fact, his words are insulting to his ancestors. If he doesn't do anything, he is really a son of man."

"Not only that, I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow that Yang Ge has no way to teach his son and is not strict in running the family!"

As for Yang Wenwu's appearance in white, it would be easier to handle.

The crime of spreading rumors to cause trouble and insulting the imperial officials is enough to make him drink a pot.

Not to mention insulting the families of famous generals who sacrificed their lives for the country?

Finished talking.

Concubine Tu and Concubine Baxian looked at each other, then looked down at Lin Xuanzhi, who was standing proudly, neither humble nor arrogant, and both had concerns in their hearts.
